[78-L] Hawaiian Trio on Canadian radio

[Stephen Davies]

Donna,
     CFCA was owned by the _Toronto Star_, so that paper probably carried
     more programming news than other papers.  I was wondering whether it
     was worth reading the other papers at that time to learn of public
     appearances by this trio, or to read the Detroit Free Press, where
     radio reception would have been good.
     CFCA operated sporadically from March, 1922, and did not begin regular
     broadcasting until June.  So this trio likely was performing a one-off
     concert.
     (There were some Pritchard brothers who were boyhood friends of Bing
     Crosby, and who played in local bands with him while still a Spokane
     youth, but it would be a long shot that these are the same guys.)

     Here is a nice tidbit from the _Canadian Jewish Review_ (1925-sep-04),
     a few years after the broadcast:

THE YORK MUSIC CO

     An up-to-date first-class music store has been opened at 596 Bay
     Street, corner of Dundas and Bay Streets, under the management of the
     well-known musician, Paul Mulliette.
     This concern carries a fine line of instruments in all varieties, also
     sheet music, and their prices are most reasonable.  A visit will prove
     this to you.  A courteous reception and free demonstration are
     assured.
     Mr. Paul Mulliette is the leader of the Young Ladies' Orchestra which
     performed at the opening of the Exhibition (the only Ladies' Orchestra
     in Canada), also leader of the Jewish Frapid Club String Orchestra.
     Thos. Pritchard and Mr. Mulliette, both of the above firm, were both
     teachers of music for the Toronto University String Instrument Club.
